Brief summary

A retrospective observational study to determine the outcomes of ICU survivors measured by the Acute Care Index of Function (ACIF) and determining factors that may effect outcome. The hypotheses for this study are: • That ACIF scores at ICU discharge will predict physical function and discharge destination at hospital discharge • That a relationship exists between patient factors and severity of illness on functional outcome measured by the ACIF at hospital discharge • That the ACIF is a valid tool to measure the functional outcome of ICU survivors

Interventions

retrospective calculation of the Acute Care Index of Function from physiotherapy and nursing notes Data collected includes demographic (age, sex, admission diagnosis), APACHE II, comorbidities, SOFA score on admission and Day 3, clinical frailty score, CAM ICU, highest ICU Mobility scale, total mechanical ventilation time, total non invasive ventilation time, total number of renal replacement days, cumulative drug doses (opioid, vasoactive, antipsychotic,benzodiazepines, neuromuscular blockades

Data will be extracted from the ANZICs data base and electronic patient records for patients admitted to Canberra Hospital ICU from July 1 2018 to June 30 2019. Mortality data for 12 months post ICU will be sourced from the Australian Institute of Health and Wellfare
